LADY BUGS.
why They are So Called and
Something About Them.

-s.~.-A..S HDC1k
Dozens of boys and girls can tell you
what a lady-bug (or lady-bird, as they
call it in England), looks like, and
there are very few who cannot and dc
not repeat the old rhyme:
| "Lady-bug, lady-bug fly away home;
Your house Is on fire, your children will
burn
whenever they see one; but there are
not many, if any, who know why the
bug is called lady-bug, or why her
house is always supposed to be Oh
fire.
Lady-bugs are supposed to appear
suddenly on st. Barnaby's Day (the
l1th OF June), and for that reason
were first called st. Barnaby's bees.
Now, st. Barnaby was noted for his
good works, and for administering
comfort to the afflicted, and it was
thought that he sent the bugs, and
taught them to be useful to man by
destroying plant lice and other insects
that fed upon trees and Towering
shrubs.
After some time they became known
as Bishop Barbaby's bee, as it was dis
covered that there was a likeness in
the insects garb to the full-dress gown
of the Oxford doctor of divinity, which
is scarlet, with black velvet sleeves,
and l have no doubt that there is
many little English girl who remem-
bers the old rhyme:
Bishop, Bishop Barnabee,
Tell me when your wedding be,
II it be tomorrow day,
Take your wings and fly away"
In the winter months lady-bugs con-
gregate by thousands in barns, and if
you will look in the cracks along the
beams you will find them tucked away
for their long slumber during the cold
weather.
l believe it is not known or has been
forgotten why they are connected with
cows and burning buildings, but that
they were is proven by the numerous
rhymes that are still sung by the boys
and girls of the West Riding of York
shire, England, where they are called
cush- -cow-ladies, and in the North
Riding one of the children's songs
says:
"Dandy-cow. dandy-cow, ride away home;
Thy house is burnt and thy BARNS are
team,
And if thou means to save thy BARNS,
Take thy wings and flee aways"
There the most mischievous child is
afraid to hurt a dandy-cow, for it is
thought very bad luck.
In other places they are known as
"Our laby-bird, evidently called after
the Virgin Mary; also, golden-bug,
May-bug, blessed bee, golden-knap,
lady-cow, barn-bee, cushcow ladies
and dandy-cows.
One OF the old rhymes says:
"Lady-bug, lady-bug, sigh thy way home:
Thy house is on fire, thy children all roam,
Except little Nan, who sits in her pan,
Weaving gold lace as fast as she can.
Then fly to the east and fly to the west
Fly to those that love best"
There are several species of these
little bugs, and all of them are said to
be useful in destroying insects so small
that the human eye cannot see them.
One variety, found very far South, is
said to entirely destroy scale insect
that feeds upon the orange tree

The Old Mill.

On the oid gray mill with lts gamDrie rooi
And the moss on its rotting caves.

And the rushing waters SOUND
And L see the black floats rise and fali
AS the wheel goes slowly round.
L rode there often when l was young,
with my grist on the horse before,
And talked with Nellie, the miller's girl,
AS / waited my turn at the door;
And while she tossed her ringlets brown,
And fiirted and chatted so free,
The wheel might stop or the wheel might go
It was all the same to me.

'Tis twenty years since last stood
On the spot where stand to day,
And Nellie is wed and the miller Is dead,
And the mill and are gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our fortune of toll are bound,
And the man goes and the stream flows,
Aud the wheel goes slowly round.

Her Waiting Eyes.

Her waiting eyes, so deep and true.
Have searched the tender twilight through
The opal twilight, dim and sweet,
Where day and night embracing meet
At eve in one short interview.
The fireflies glance, a fairy crew,
The signing breezes softly sue,
The easement roses all entreat
Her waiting eyes.
In vain the blossoms brim with dew,
unseen the elf lights cross her view;
The zephyrs ebb above the wheat
For down the mossy sylvan street
A lover swiftly comes to WOO
Her waiting eyes.

Honor Old Age.

The Germans have story about a
little girl, named Jeanette, who once
went out to see a grand review. She
found q capital place from which to
see the soldiers pass, when she noticed
a poor old woman in the crowd trying
very hard to get where she could see.
Jeanette said to herself: II should
like to see the soldiers march, but it
isn't kind in me to stay in this nice
seat and let that old woman stay
where she can't see anything; ought
to honor old age, and I will" So she
called the old woman, and. placing
her in the nice seat, fell back among
the crowd. There she had to tiptoe
and peep and dodge about to catch a
glimpse of the splendid scene, which
she might have seen fully and easily
if she had kept her place.
Some of the people said she was Il
silly girl, and laughed at her. jean
nette was rewarded in her heart for
her kindness to old age. a few min
utes later man covered with lace ell
bowed his way through the crowd,
and said to her: Little girl, will you
come to her ladyship?" She could
not imagine who her ladyship was,
but she followed the man to scaffold
within the crowd. A lady met her at
the top of the stairs, and said my
dear child, saw you yield your seat
to the old woman. You acted nobly.
Now, sit down here by me; you can
see everything here" Thus Jeanette
was rewarded second time for honor
ing old age.

Good Advice.

Hope Herman, in the Nashville Ad-
vocate makes these points for young
preachers. Good for old ones, too =:
aYou ought to know all your people
well; cultivate the children, but do
not neglect the men. If you cannot
see them at home, see them at their
places of business. You ask, DO you
think I ought to have prayer with the
family everywhere I GO? Well, [ do
not know. Certainly not as a matter
of form. If you can make seventeen
visits in an evening, and pray with
the utmost fervor at every house, as
did Bramwell, I should certainly ad.
wise it. IF you pray just to be going
through the motions, you had better
leave it out. Let all things be done
unto edification.' Where you are in
vited into a cold, dark parlor, and the
sister tells you she is suffering from
the nervous headache, and you hear
the baby squalling in the next room,
and you have reason to believe that
the dinner has been left on the stove,
Ishould not insist on having prayer, |
believe. But let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind, and, as
good Doctor -- says, Whatever
you do, have some sense This is
good doctrine. Rules were not made
for wise men-judge we what I say
And so T will close by saying, as Sam
uel did to Saul, DO as occasion serve
thee, for God is with thee.' But
hope you will turn out better than he
